Stevens Creek Reservoir, spanning 95 acres, is located close to town but still maintains a rural feeling. The surrounding hillsides are covered with low brush and some Oaks. It offers a steep shoreline with brushy coves, as well as a picnic area, hiking trails, and an archery range. No power boats and swimming are allowed.

Stevens Creek offers decent fishing for a variety of species. It is regularly stocked with rainbow trout by CDFW during colder months, while also housing warm-water species such as largemouth bass, crappie, carp, and catfish. However, fluctuating water levels can be dramatic, with heavy drawdowns during the summer and quick fill-ups during heavy winter rains. Unfortunately, this does affect the fish population and prevents the fishery from ever reaching its full potential. Be prepared to pay a fee for parking and access.
